4-10 Maintaining the Printer Chapter 4
N
Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing
the best results for output on Bubble Jet printers than any other
organization. Canon does not prohibit the use of third-party inks and the
use of third-party inks does not invalidate the product’s limited warranty.
However, Canon cannot guarantee the quality or performance of your
printer when you are using inks from other suppliers.
Canon’s limited warranty does not cover damage caused to Canon’s
Bubble Jet products that is attributable to the use of third-party parts or
supplies, including inks. The limited warranty remains in effect for its
life once that particular damage has been properly repaired.
For optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use Canon
BJ cartridges and BJ tanks.
BJ Cartridge and BJ Tank Maintenance
The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your printer
and to ensure optimum print quality is to take care of the BJ cartridges.

Spilled ink can stain any surface. Open BJ cartridges and BJ tanks
carefully, and follow the guidelines presented here to protect against
spilled ink.
❍ Make sure you store any cartridge not being used in the Ink
Cartridge Storage Box.
❍ Keep BJ cartridges and BJ tanks in their sealed containers until you
are ready to use them.
❍ Do not remove the BJ tanks from the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge
unnecessarily. This may cause the ink to clog.
